Djibril Cisse has branded Montpellier president Louis Nicollin “an idiot” for refusing to offer him a place at the French club.

Former Liverpool and France striker Cisse is a free agent after having his contract mutually terminated by QPR on Friday following their relegation from the Premier League.

The 31-year-old was left fuming earlier this week after Nicollin rejected the chance to sign him.

The Montpellier supremo insisted: “I do not want a guy who DJs in bars.”

Angry Cisse hit back on Twitter: “What a pity I have not made it to a nice club like Montpellier. It's a beautiful city with an idiot for a president.

“Thank you for the support, but I feel sorry for the fans.

“Having an a*****e for a president cannot be easy.”

The Frenchman joined the Hoops from Lazio for around £4million in 2012, made 29 appearance and scored 10 goals.

However, he spent the second half of last season on loan at Qatari outfit Al-Gharafa after Harry Redknapp took over as manager and has now been handed a pay-off to leave Loftus Road.

Famed for his eye-catching haircuts and tattoos, Cisse won the European Cup with Liverpool in 2005 and is the Lord of the Manor of Frodsham after buying a Cheshire house that came with the title thrown in.
